Cons
"The pricing of the solution can be made cheaper.""Salesforce should include maps as a default offering so that, as a customer, I can view where the technician is on the geographical map.""The documentation could be improved.""One minor drawback is that its implementation requires some preparation. It's not something you can implement instantly; it takes time. The only issue I've encountered is that you need to ensure the implementation is done properly, which can be time-consuming. So, it requires some time and attention.""There is room for improvement in pricing.""The product's high price is an area of concern where improvements are required.""The product should be capable of delivering complex reports as per company requirements without the need for a Tableau license.""The integrations with other solutions can be improved."
